Since May 9 Thuan Thanh district, which is home to 182,000 residents, has been locked down after several positive cases were detected.
The authorities have swiftly erected four check-points at its gateways to control the movement of both people and vehicles in and out of the locality.
At a check-point bordering Hanoi’s Gia Lam district, officials are on duty around the clock to control people and vehicles entering Thuan Thanh district.
All movements passing through the checkpoint are put under strict scrutiny, as it is a crowded route linking Hanoi capital and neighboring Bac Ninh province.
Although the checkpoint has been established for days, thousands of people and vehicle drivers travelling from Hanoi to Bac Ninh do not know about the rules, causing difficulties for relevant forces at work.
All people entering the district are required to have their body temperatures checked and complete a healthcare declaration.
At another checkpoint bordering Tien Du and Que Vo districts of Bac Ninh province, fewer people have traveled compared to previous days.
Local authorities, policemen, and healthcare workers all remain on duty around the clock at the checkpoints.
Any local residents must carry with them a certificate provided by the local authorities in the event that they wish to go out of Thuan Thanh district.
People strictly follow COVID-19 regulations set out by the administration.
Residents send food and beverages as special gifts to officials on duty at checkpoints.
The administration of Thuan Thanh district has put up more checkpoints in residential areas.
Volunteers are constantly on duty at checkpoints to encourage locals to follow COVID-19 regulations.
Locals are required to wear face masks and use hand sanitizer as part of the fight against COVID-19.
All entrants must now complete health declarations.
